“The extensive Israeli bombardment of Gaza, including the use of high-impact explosive weapons in densely populated areas ... is clearly having a devastating humanitarian and human rights impact. The attacks must be investigated ... We have very serious concerns that these amount to disproportionate attacks in breach of international humanitarian law. Any use by Palestinian armed groups of civilians and civilian objects to shield themselves from attack is in contravention of the laws of war. But such conduct by Palestinian armed groups does not absolve Israel of its obligation to ensure that civilians are spared.”

“Biden, who promised to put human rights at the centre of his foreign policy, has ignored US clients' human rights violations and has been supporting strongmen who rule with an iron fist, while the region teeters under violent sectarian and authoritarian regimes. Washington cannot in good conscience claim to confront Russia and China in the name of democracy, human rights and the preservation of sovereignty, while appeasing colonialism and dictatorship in the Middle East or elsewhere. It is hypocritical and it is counterproductive.”

“It has long been clear that while China is a major trading partner, there are very relevant problems, including when it comes to respecting human rights. Germany is diversifying more, reducing its dependency on China, and will closely examine applications from German companies wanting to make investments in China to rule out human rights violations and forced labour in the supply chain. At the EU level, too, government subsidies to Chinese competitors who want to enter the domestic market should be looked at more closely.”

“It is not Memorial's history research that drew his [Vladimir Putin] ire. The real reason is that the organisation linked that effort to defending human rights in the present. It maintained its own human rights centre, which monitored abuses and designated political prisoners. It also organised an annual vigil in front of the former KGB (currently FSB) building in Moscow, with thousands coming to read out the names of terror victims in a powerful 'never again' message to modern abusers of human rights.”

“Budget negotiations around the UN's human rights pillar have become increasingly contentious in recent years as China, Russia, and their allies claim - unpersuasively - that human rights get too big a share of UN resources. Making matters worse, the UN's so-called independent budget assessment body is increasingly undermining efforts to fund UN human rights work by making what diplomats describe as 'politicized' recommendations to reduce funding for rights-related activities.”

“The regime's egregious human rights violations, much like its unlawful WMD [weapon of mass destruction] and ballistic missile programs, are destabilizing to international peace and security, and must be prioritized within the Council [UN Security Council]. The modern world has no place for such brutality. And it is time for the Council to address it.”

“Unfortunately, there are people in Japan who have a biased view of China's political system ... and are spreading rumors about human rights in Xinjiang and Hong Kong. Given that China supported Tokyo hosting the Olympics, I think Japan should have good intentions toward our Games. Recently Japan has been making some negative moves regarding Taiwan, saying 'a Taiwan emergency is a Japanese emergency'. This is one-sided provocation and we cannot accept it.”

“The global paralysis on Ethiopia's armed conflict has emboldened human rights abusers to act with impunity and left communities at risk feeling abandoned. As evidence of atrocities mounts, world leaders should support the creation of an international investigative mechanism and the UN Security Council should put Ethiopia on its formal agenda.”
